Comments in Ogg Vorbis streams

[Michael P. <mx...@dy...>]

Hi,

Unlike MP3 streams, where the metadata is transmitted using
StreamTitle= etc., Ogg Vorbis streams contain the metadata "inline" in
Vorbis comments.  It would be great if one could see them in cmus,
just like for local files.

ogg123 (from vorbis-tools) displays comments in Vorbis streams,
e.g.,

  $ ogg123 http://ebmradio.de:13000/ebm.ogg

  Audio Device:   Sun audio driver output

  Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz
  Encoder: SAM technology
  Artist: Forced Police Action
  Title: Sanitarium
  Album: Indie Nation
  Duration: 246726
  Songtype: S
  Overlay: no
  Genre: Electronic
  Track number: 11
  [...]

When the comments change, ogg123 prints the new set.

I've already had a look at input.c - unfortunately I don't understand
enough to implement it myself, and I don't know how easy it would be
to make this fit in with the stream code, but maybe someone else does
and also thinks this would be a nice thing to have ;-)

Greetings
